Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Request no fries or rice. Ask for a side green salad with oil and vinegar, or steamed low-carb vegetables. Confirm the Piri-Piri marinade does not contain added sugar.
Watch out for
Piri-Piri marinades or restaurant sauces can sometimes contain hidden sugars or thickeners. Always confirm or ask for plain grilled chicken with olive oil and herbs.
